42 12
—- = —-
56 x


Simplified:

3 12
— = —-
4 x

Multiply both sides by 4:

3 = 48
—-
x

Multiply both sides by x:

3x = 48

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 16

A glacier that was 1,076 meters thick change in thickness at an average rate of -22.7 meter per year for 7 years.
-Dominant- [34]

1,076 (the original thickness) - 22.7 meters (loss per year) * 7 (lost 22.7 meters per year for seven years, so multiply the loss per year by the amount of years) = 917.1 (the size after 7 years)

A.K.A  1,076 - 22.7 * 7 = 917.1

I have attached the question for you

Answer:

s = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at² ( substitute the given values into the equation )

s = ( 3 × \frac{1}{3} ) + ( \frac{1}{2} × - 12 × (\frac{1}{3} )² )

  = 1 + (- 6 × \frac{1}{9} )

  = 1 + ( - \frac{2}{3} )

  = 1 - \frac{2}{3}

  = \frac{1}{3}
